Sofia, March 27 (BTA) - Prime Minister Boyko Borissov has recalled Bulgarian Ambassador to Moscow Boyko Kotsev for consultations with the government, the government information service said.

For now Bulgaria has made no decision to expel Russian diplomats over the Skripal case.  Prime Minister Borissov said Britain had claimed there was "high probability" that Russia was behind the nerve attack on the Skripals and that he had asked for more evidence. "This is the joint decision and we support it," he said, referring to the EU's support for Britain.
